Overview
Indiana’s State Psychiatric Hospitals serve many roles in their respective communities. They are inpatient treatment units for those in need of an intensive level of treatment, research facilities for students and professionals in the fields of mental health and addiction, and good neighbors in their community, adding to the local economy and culture. Richmond State Hospital, Madison State Hospital, Evansville State Hospital and Larue Carter Hospital are four of these six Indiana state psychiatric hospitals.
Richmond State Hospital has served persons with mental illness since 1911. The Residential Treatment Center opened in 1992 and in August of 2002 the Clinical Treatment Center which emphasizes active treatment using the treatment mall approach was opened.
The hospital is composed of five service lines that provide care to adults with mental illness and/or adults who are developmentally disabled, adults with substance abuse needs, and adolescents who are seriously emotionally disturbed. Service lines include: Substance Abuse (101 beds-includes dually diagnosed), Adult Services (65 beds), Life Skills (60 beds), Transition (36 beds), and Youth Services (20 beds) and Adult Mentally ill and Developmentally Disabled (30) beds.
Madison State Hospital has served persons with mental illness since August, 1910. In September of 1910, 476 patients were transferred by rail from Central State Hospital in Indianapolis. The hospital’s current capacity is 150 beds.
The hospital is composed of two service lines that provide care to adults with mental illness and/or adults who are developmentally disabled. Service Lines include: Adult Psychiatric Services (90 beds) and Adult Mentally Retarded/Developmentally Disabled (60 beds both certified and non-certified).
Evansville State Hospital has served persons with mental illness since 1890. A replacement hospital, which has a capacity of 168, was opened September, 2003. The Golden Trowel award was presented to the hospital for use of innovative materials.
The hospital is composed of three service lines that provide care to adults with mental illness and/or persons who are developmentally disabled. Service lines are: Development Training Services (32), Geriatric Services (34 beds), Adult Continuing Treatment (102 beds).
Treatment at all hospitals is individualized through interdisciplinary assessments and may include stabilization of symptoms through psychopharmacology, management of medical problems, individual and group therapy, patient and family education, rehabilitation and recreation therapy, academic and skills training, vocational training, and supported employment.
All hospitals continue to maintain Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) accreditation. Madison State Hospital and Evansville State Hospital have maintained certification as an Intermediate Care Facility for the Mentally Retarded (ICF/MR). Maintaining this accreditation and certification improves quality of care and maintains reimbursement status.
